Cross Country State Championships

A huge congratulations to Bridget Brown who competed last Thursday 19th July at the Cross Country State Championships at Bundoora. Bridget tried her best and competed well. Bridget finished the course with a time of 9:08 min, and placed 40 out of 90 girls. We are all very proud of Bridget for the way in which she approached the whole Cross Country journey this year, all the way from Numurkah Primary school to State Championships.

Well done Bridget!

The best on ground were Judah Moody, Jacob Lindberg, Jackson Jenner and Conner Waites who kicked a goal.

Bat Smashers Softball Report

Numurkah PS (Bat Smashers) Softball Team played an excellent game against Cobram PS on Friday 20th July.  It was a fantastic game, with the Cobram team putting us under a lot of pressure. However, the Bat Smashers were up for the challenge and played really well, running the bases effectively and taking advantage of the occasional loose ball. Declan Crisp batted really well and Odin Mutimer took a great catch! Kobi Pelchen’s pitching was accurate too. The following players also made valuable contributions during the game: Chase Dixon, Bobby Hall, Devlin Duncan, Aiden Woolley, Will Srisoi and Lucas Spokes. A big thank you to Xavier Dixon for helping out. The final score was 19 to 13 our way.
